马克思对人的本质的理论贡献是人类思想史和哲学史上的一次划时代革命。本文通过对西方关于人的本质问题的思想的回顾及对马克思关于人的本质理论的提出的时代背景的分析,认为马克思关于人的本质理论在一定程度上是当时代表先进方向的社会精英对以往西方人本主义的大众化回归,同时更是关于这一理论的科学升华。 Marx’s theoretical contribution to human nature is an epoch-making revolution in the history of human thought and philosophy. Through the review of the Western thought on the nature of human beings and the analysis of the background of Marx’s proposition about the nature of human beings, this paper argues that Marx’s theory of human nature is, to some extent, the social elite representing the advanced direction at the time. The popularization of western humanism has returned, at the same time, it is a scientific distillation of this theory.
